The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three-month periodthree- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009. Certain amounts in the prior yearyears have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Convertible debentures
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” FSP APB 14-1 requires the proceeds from the issuance of such convertible debt instruments to be allocated between debt and equity components so that debt is discounted to reflect the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The debt discount is amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. This treatment impacts the accounting associated with the Company’s convertible debentures. The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Statements of Cash Flows have been adjusted to reflect the retrospective application of the provisions to prior periods.
Noncontrolling interests
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provision of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 160 requires noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. The presentation of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Statements of Cash Flows has been adjusted to reflect the retrospective application of the provisions to prior periods.
Business combinations
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) applies to all business combinations and requires most identifiable assets,

7


liabilities, noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” at the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires transaction-related costs to be expensed in the period incurred, rather than capitalizing these costs as a component of the respective purchase price.
Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities
The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. During the second quarter 2007, the Company entered into derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk that are considered cash flow hedges under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. To qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, the details for the hedging relationship must be formally documented at the inception of the arrangement, including the Company’s hedging strategy, risk management objective, the specific risk being hedged, the derivative instrument being used, the item being hedged, an assessment of hedge effectiveness and how effectiveness will continue to be assessed and measured. For the effective portion of a cash flow hedge, changes in the value of the hedge instrument are recorded temporarily in stockholders’ equity and the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a component of other comprehensive income and then recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the hedging instrument.
In the Money Transfer Segment, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These forward contracts are considered derivative instruments under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, however, the Company does not designate such instruments as hedges. Accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized immediately as a component of foreign currency exchange gain (loss), net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact of changes in value of these forward contracts, together with the impact of the change in value of the related foreign currency denominated receivable, on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations is not significant.
Cash flows resulting from derivative instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company enters into derivative instruments with financial institutions it believes to be highly credit-worthy and does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Additionally, effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”Activities,” which requires an entity to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for these disclosures and a further discussion of derivative instruments.
Fair value measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”Measurements,” for financial assets and liabilities. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. Additionally, FSP FASNo. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions for those nonfinancial assets and liabilities, which include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, indefinite-lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment, nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Effective for the quarterly reporting period ended June 30, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which requires the annual fair value disclosures about financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107 to also be made in interim financial statements.
See Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for the required fair value disclosures.
Money transfer settlement obligations
Money transfer settlement obligations are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of amounts owed by Euronet to money transfer recipients. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, the Company’s money transfer settlement obligations were $31.3$31.9 million.

Investment in MoneyGram International, Inc.
The Company’s investment in MoneyGram International, Inc. (“MoneyGram”) was classified as available-for-sale as of December 31, 2007 and was recorded in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the first quarter 2008, the Company decided not to pursue the acquisition of MoneyGram. Also, during the first quartersix months ended June 30, 2008, the value of the Company’s investment in MoneyGram declined and the Company determined the decline to be other than temporary. Accordingly, the Company recognized $17.5 million in impairment losses associated with the investment of $1.3 million in the second quarter 2008 and $18.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and reversed the $0.6 million gain recorded as of December 31, 2007 in accumulated other comprehensive income. The investment was included in other current assets on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance

Sheets as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. During the first quarter 2008, the Company also recorded acquisition relatedacquisition-related expenses totaling $3.0 million, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Subsequent events
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” This standard incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that already existed within generally accepted auditing standards, but the rules concerning recognition and disclosure of subsequent events will remain essentially unchanged. SFAS No. 165 provides general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 10, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued. Events occurring after this date have not been evaluated.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In AprilJune 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends the requirements to measure contingencies acquired in a business combination at fair value, requiring that a contingency acquired in a business combination be initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. Acquired contingencies whose fair value cannot be determined during the measurement period would be recognized if it is probable that an asset existed or liability had been incurred at the acquisition dateSFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the amountHierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 168 authorizes theFASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) to become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws remain sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. Certain accounting treatments that assetentities have followed, and continue to follow, which are not part of the Codification are grandfathered because they were adopted before a certain date or liability can be reasonably estimated. FSP FAS 141(R)-1certain accounting standards have allowed for the continued application of superseded accounting standards. SFAS No. 168 is effective for Euronet beginning January 1, 2009, concurrent with the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R),financial statements issued for interim and it did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which requires the annual fair value disclosures about financial instruments within the scope of FAS 107 to also be made in interim financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for Euronet for the quarterly reporting periodperiods ending June 30,after September 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1SFAS No. 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, all references to U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB will use Codification citations except for those to grandfathered accounting literature.
(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-averageweighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for theany potential dilution of the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debentures, shares issuable in connection with acquisition obligations, restricted stock and options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The following table provides the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
                 
  Three Months Ended June 30,  Six Months Ended June 30, 
  2009  2008  2009  2008

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronet’s weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For the three-month periodssix months ended March 31, 2009 andJune 30, 2008, the Company incurred a net losses;loss; therefore, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for eachthe period. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, theThe calculation of diluted lossearnings per share excludes approximately 4,928,000 and 3,192,000, respectively, stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding.outstanding for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 of approximately 1,989,000 and 3,868,000, respectively. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 of approximately 1,632,000 and 2,959,000, respectively. Additionally, for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2008, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes approximately 953,0001,087,000 shares issuable in connection with acquisition obligations that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding.
The Company has $59.2$44.2 million principal amount of 1.625% convertible debentures due 2024 and $175 million principal amount of 3.50% convertible debentures due 2025 outstanding that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. These debentures are convertible into 1.81.3 million shares of Common Stock for the $59.2$44.2 million 1.625% issue, and 4.3 million shares of Common Stock for the $175 million 3.50% issue, only upon the occurrence of certain conditions. As required by EITF Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share,” if dilutive, the impact of the contingently issuable shares must be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the conditions upon which the debentures would be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock have been met. Under the if-converted method, the assumed conversionconversions of the 1.625% and 3.50% convertible debentures waswere anti-dilutive for both three-monththe three- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008.
(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the second quarter 2008, the Company committed to a plan to sell Euronet Essentis Limited (“Essentis”), a U.K. software entity, in order to focus its investments and resources on its transaction processing businesses. The Company is incurrently negotiating an agreement to sell the processassets of selling the business. Accordingly, Essentis’s results of operations are shown as discontinued operations in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Previously, Essentis’s results were reported in the EFT Processing Segment. The segment results in Note 8, Segment Information, also reflect the reclassification of Essentis’s resultsEssentis to discontinued operations. The following amounts related to Essentis have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations:

Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes, as of March 31,June 30, 2009, is expected to total $21.9$23.0 million for 2009, $21.4$23.2 million for 2010, $17.8$19.2 million for 2011, $15.6$16.9 million for 2012, $11.3$12.4 million for 2013 and $8.8$9.6 million for 2014.
The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter. The Company’s annual impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulted in the Company recording an estimated non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $219.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to its RIA money transfer business and its Spanish prepaid business. Additionally, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to certain trade names and customer relationships of the RIA money transfer business. The Company completed the impairment testing in the first quarter of 2009 and recorded an additional non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8.8 million and a $1.1 million non-cash impairment charge related to a money transfer intangible asset in the first quarter of 2009.
Determining the fair value of reporting units requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s operations will not perform as expected, or that estimates or assumptions could change, which may result in the Company recording additional material non-cash impairment charges during the year in which these changes take place.

In MarchDuring the first half of 2009, the Company repurchased in privately negotiated transactions $10.8$25.8 million in principal amount of the 1.625% convertible debentures due 2024. During the three-monthssix months ended March 31,June 30, 2009, the Company repaid $1.0$2.0 million of the term loan, of which $0.5$1.0 million was awere scheduled repayment.repayments. The remaining $0.5$1.0 million represents prepayment of amounts not yet due and, along with the convertible debentures repurchaserepurchases, resulted in the Company recognizing a $0.1$0.3 million pre-tax loss on early retirement of debt.
As discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP APB 14-1, which resulted in the adjustment of amounts previously reported for the Company’s convertible debentures. The 1.625% convertible debentures had principal amounts outstanding of $59.2$44.2 million and $70.0 million and unamortized discounts outstanding of $2.1$1.0 million and $3.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The discount will be amortized through December 15, 2009. Contractual interest expense was $0.3$0.2 million and $0.6$0.5 million and discount accretion was $0.9$0.7 million and $1.7$1.6 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2009, respectively. Contractual interest expense was $0.6 million and $1.1 million and discount accretion was $1.7 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The effective interest rate was 7.1% for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008. The carrying amount of the equity portion was $32.3 million as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The 3.50% convertible debentures had principal amounts outstanding of $175.0 million and unamortized discounts outstanding of $26.0$24.4 million and $27.6 million as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The discount will be amortized through October 15, 2012. Contractual interest expense was $1.5 million and discount$3.1 million for the respective three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Discount accretion was $1.6 million and $1.4$3.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2009, respectively and $1.5 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The effective interest rate was 8.4% for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008. The carrying amount of the equity portion was $45.1 million as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
(7) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
During 2007, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50 million to manage interest rate exposure related to a portion of the term loan, which currently bears interest at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 200 basis points. The interest rate swap agreements are determined to be cash flow hedges and effectively convert $50 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through the May 2009 maturity date of the swap agreements.
As of March 31,June 30, 2009, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $41.1$41.2 million, primarily in euros, which were not designated as hedges and had a weighted average remaining maturity of 2.84.9 days. Although the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they are not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133. This is mainly due to the relatively short duration of the contracts, typically 1 to 14 days, and the frequency with which the Company enters into them.
The Company has an office lease in a foreign country that requires payment in a currency that is not the functional currency of either party to the lease or the Company’s reporting currency. Therefore, the lease contains an embedded derivative per SFAS No. 133 and its fair value is recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During 2007, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50 million to manage interest rate exposure related to a portion of the term loan. The interest rate swap agreements were determined to be cash flow hedges and effectively converted $50 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through the May 2009 maturity date of the swap agreements. The swap agreements required no payment by either party at their maturities.

(9) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt obligations approximates fair value, due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s term loan due 2014 and revolving credit agreements approximate fair value because interest is based on LIBOR that resets at various intervals of less than one year. The following table provides the estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments, based on quoted market prices or significant other observable inputs.

The Company values available for saleavailable-for-sale investment securities using quoted prices from the securities’ primary exchange. Interest rate swaps are valued using present value measurements based on the LIBOR swap rate, credit spreads and other relevant market conditions. Foreign currency derivative contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange quotations for similar assets and liabilities. The embedded derivative in foreign lease is valued using present value techniques and foreign currency exchange quotations.
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. ForDuring the three months ended March 31,first quarter of 2009, the Company finalized the assessment of the fair value of the goodwill related to its RIA money transfer business and its Spanish prepaid business and recorded an impairment charge of $8.8 million as discussed in Note 5, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net. The fair values were determined using significant unobservable inputs. The $258.8 million fair value of goodwill was determined by calculating its implied fair value as the excess of the fair value of the respective entity over the fair value of its net assets. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2009, management determined that an acquired intangible asset associated with a previous acquisition in the Money Transfer Segment had no value and, accordingly, the Company recorded a write-off ofwrote off the remaining net book value of the intangible asset.

(11) INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rates for continuing operations were (81%)28.7% and 359%19.0% for the three-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and were 74.6% and 101.5% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The effective tax rates were significantly influenced by the goodwill and acquired intangible assets impairment charge and foreign currency exchange net loss forin the first quarter 2009 and the impairment losslosses on investment securities andduring the first half of 2008. Additionally, foreign currency exchange net gain forrates fluctuated significantly during the first quarter 2008.reported periods creating foreign currency exchange gains and losses that impacted the effective tax rates. Excluding foreign currency exchange results and the impairments to goodwill and acquired intangible assets and to investment securities from pre-tax income, as well as the related tax effects for these items, the Company’s effective tax rates were 41.6%46.8% and 28.1%20.2% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 44.1% and 23.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The increaseincreases in the effective tax rate,rates, as adjusted, for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 are primarily related to the Company’s U.S. tax position. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its U.S. federal tax net operating losses as it has determined that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Accordingly, the federal income tax benefit associated with pre-tax book losses generated by the Company’s U.S. entities has not been recognized in these periods. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, no valuation allowance was recorded against its U.S. federal tax net operating losses, resulting in a tax benefit associated with the pre-tax loss generated by the Company’s U.S. operations. Additional reasons for the increases in the Company’s effective tax rates include the accrual of incremental state income tax expense in the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, was primarily relatedmainly due to exhausting certain state net operating losses, and the recognition of a one-time tax benefit in the first half of 2008 resulting from the successful conclusion of a tax audit in one of the Company’s foreign jurisdictions. Finally, the loss of certain income tax deductions in Spain as a result of the goodwill and acquired intangible assets impairment charges. Also, approximately $3.5 millioncharges increased income tax expense in the first half of contract termination fees were recorded2009.

Professional service fees consist of charges for customization, installation and consulting services to customers. Software maintenance revenues represent the ongoing fees charged for maintenance and support for customers’ software products. Hardware sales are derived from the sale of computer equipment necessary for the respective software solution.
Prepaid Processing Segment— Revenues in the Prepaid Processing Segment, which represented approximately 57%58% of total consolidated revenues for the first quarterhalf of 2009, are primarily derived from commissions or processing fees received from telecommunications service providers for the sale and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime. We also generate revenues from commissions earned from the distribution of other prepaid products. Due to certain provisions in our mobile phone operator agreements, the operators have the ability to reduce the overall commission paid on each top-up transaction. However, by virtue of our agreements with retailers (distributors where POS terminals are located) in certain markets, not all of these reductions are absorbed by us because we are able to pass a significant portion of the reductions to retailers. Accordingly, under certain retailer agreements, the effect is to reduce revenues and reduce our direct operating costs resulting in only a small impact on gross marginprofit and operating income. In some markets, reductions in commissions can significantly impact our results as it may not be possible, either contractually or commercially in the concerned market, to pass a

reduction in commissions to the retailers. In Australia, certain retailers negotiate directly with the mobile phone operators for their own commission rates, which also limits our ability to pass through reductions in commissions. Agreements with mobile operators are important to the success of our business. These agreements permit us to distribute prepaid mobile airtime to the mobile operators’ customers. Other products offered by this segment include prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internetinternet plans, prepaid debit cards, prepaid gift cards, bill payment, money transfer and prepaid mobile content such as music, ringtones and games.
Money Transfer Segment— Revenues in the Money Transfer Segment, which representsrepresented approximately 23% of total consolidated revenues for the first quarterhalf of 2009, are primarily derived through thefrom charging of a transaction fee, as well as the difference between purchasing foreign currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. We have an origination network in place comprised of agents and company-ownedCompany-owned stores primarily in Europe and North America and a worldwide network of correspondent agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Origination and correspondent agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services. These fees are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale.

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
Beginning in 2006 and through mid-2008,During the first half of 2009, the U.S. dollar weakenedwas significantly stronger compared to most of the currencies of the countries in which we operate. Inoperate than it was in the secondfirst half of 2008 and into the first quarter of 2009, the U.S. dollar strengthened significantly.2008. Because our revenues and local expenses are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, amounts we earned for the first quarterhalf of 2009 are negatively impacted by the strengthening of thestronger U.S. dollar. We estimate that, depending on the mix of countries and currencies, our consolidated operating income for the first quarterhalf of 2009 was diminished by approximately 35%25% to 40%30% when compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008 as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. If applicable, we will refer to the impact of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates in our comparison of operating segment results for the six- and three-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008. To provide further perspective on the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the following table shows the changes in values relative to the U.S. dollar from the first quarterhalf of 2008 to the first quarterhalf of 2009 of the currencies of the countries in which we have our most significant operations:

Revenues
Our revenues for the first quarterhalf of 2009 decreased when compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008 primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008 relative to most of the currencies of the countries in which we operate. Because our revenues are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, amounts we earn in foreign currencies are negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, the decrease in the number of ATMs operated, which is primarily due to the expiration or termination of ATM services contracts discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs, contributed to our revenue decrease. Partly offsetting these decreases were contract termination fees totaling $4.4 million and increases in revenues primarily associated with our operations in India and our software business. The increase in revenues in the first quarter 2009 associated with our software business was primarily due to the sale of a significant license to an entity in which Euronet has a 10% stake.
Average monthly revenue per ATM was $1,639$1,638 for the second quarter and first half of 2009, compared to $1,752 for the second quarter and $1,543 for the first half of 2008. The decrease in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $1,366 forfrom the second quarter of 2008 is mainly driven by the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. The improvement in the first quarterhalf of 2009 from the same period in 2008 and revenue per transaction was $0.29 for both the first quarter 2009 and 2008. The increase in revenue per ATM is generally the result of the non-recurring contract termination fees discussed above and the expiration of an ATM services contract in the U.K. at the end of the first quarter 2008. The U.K. contract involved processing services only with very little associated costs and, therefore, had lower-than-average revenue per ATM. AsRevenue per transaction was $0.25 for the second quarter and $0.27 for the first half of March 31, 2008, we were providing processing services2009, compared to $0.31 for approximately 2,400 ATMs under this contract prior to its expiration. Partly offsetting the improvement in average revenue per ATM issecond quarter and $0.30 for the additionfirst half of ATMs2008. These decreases are primarily the result of the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar and the growth of transactions in India and China, where revenues per ATMtransaction have been historically lower than Central and Eastern Europe (due to lower labor costs). During the first half of 2009, transactions on Euronet’s shared network in India, Cashnet, increased 138% when compared to the first half of 2008.

22


Our contracts in the EFT Processing Segment tend to cover large numbers of ATMs, so significant increases and decreases in our pool of managed ATMs may result from entry into or termination of these management contracts. Banks have historically been very deliberate in negotiating these agreements and have evaluated a wide range of matters when deciding to choose an outsource vendor. Generally, the process of negotiating a new agreement is subject to extensive management analysis and approvals and the process typically takes six to twelve months or longer. Increasing consolidation in the banking industry could make this process less predictable.

19


Our existing contracts generally have terms of five to seven years and a number of them will expire or be up for renewal each year for the next few years. As a result, we expect to be regularly engaged in discussions with one or more of our customer banks to either obtain renewal of,renew or restructure our ATM outsourcing agreements. During the fourth quarter 2008 and first quarter 2009, certain customer contracts were terminated or expired, resulting in a decrease of approximately 1,700 ATMs. Most of the ATM reductions resulted from bank customers shifting their processing to related processing subsidiaries in contemplation of selling the subsidiaries to raise capital, rather than the loss of contracts to competitors. The reduction in the number of ATMs from contract terminations or expirations was partially offset during the first half of 2009 by increases in ATMs driven under new contracts, expansion of ATMs under existing contracts and the deployment of ATMs in markets where we operate Euronet-branded ATMs.
For contracts that we are able to renew, as was the case for contract renewals in Romania and Greece in prior years, we expect customers to seek rate concessions or up-front payments because of the greater availability of alternative processing solutions in many of our markets now, as compared to when we originally entered into the contracts. Excluding the expiringexpired or terminated contracts discussed above, we have been able to renew or extend most of the remaining contracts that came up for renewal in 2008 or were due to expire in 2009. While we have been successful in many cases in obtaining new terms that preserve the same level of earnings arising from the agreements, we have not been successful in all cases and, therefore, we expect to experience reductions in revenues in future quarters arising from the expiration or restructuring of agreements.
For the contracts that expired during the fourth quarter 2008 and first quarter 2009, excluding the substantial termination fees described above, we estimate that the impact to 2009 will be a reduction in revenues of approximately $15 million to $16 million, resulting in reduced operating income of approximately $3 million to $4 million. We cannot be sure we will have sufficient revenues from new contracts to offset potential revenue reductions from expired or restructured agreements.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs consist primarily of site rental fees, cash delivery costs, cash supply costs, maintenance, insurance, telecommunications and the cost of data center operations-related personnel, as well as the processing centers’ facility related costs and other processing center related expenses. The decrease in direct operating costscost for the first quarterhalf of 2009, compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008, is attributed to the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar and the decrease in the number of ATMs under operation.
Gross profit
Gross profit, which is calculated as revenues less direct operating costs, increaseddecreased to $27.3$25.9 million for the second quarter and $53.2 million for the first quarterhalf of 2009 from $26.5$27.7 million for the second quarter and $54.2 million for the first quarterhalf of 2008. This increase isThese decreases are mainly attributable to the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar, partly offset by the contract termination fee revenues discussed above, partly offset byabove.

Salaries and benefits

The growth in selling, general and administrative expense associated with the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business was less pronounced in the second quarter of 2009 than in the first half of 2009 compared to same periods in 2008 as the business launched in the second quarter of 2008.

Revenues
The decrease in revenues for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008 was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 relative to most of the currencies of the countries in which we operate, particularly the Australian dollar and British pound. Because our revenues are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, amounts we earn in foreign currencies are negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. This decrease was partly offset by an increase in total transactions processed, led by improvements in Australia, Germany and the U.S. Our Australian subsidiary enhanced its market position in the first quarter of 2009 by signing an exclusive, long-term distribution agreement with Vodafone Australia. The agreement strengthens our existing relationship with Vodafone and preserves our gross margins during the term of the agreement.
In certain more mature markets, such as the U.K., New Zealand and Spain, our revenue growth has slowed substantially orand, in some cases, revenues have decreased because conversion from scratch cards to electronic top-up is substantially complete and certain mobile operators and retailers are driving competitive reductions in pricing and margins. We expect most of our future revenue growth to be derived from: (i) additional products sold over the base of prepaid processing terminals, (ii) developing markets or markets in which there is organic growth in the prepaid sector overall, (iii) continued conversion from scratch cards to electronic top-up in less mature markets, and (iv) acquisitions, if available.
Revenues per transaction decreased to $0.73were $0.75 for the second quarter and $0.74 for the first half of 2009 compared to $0.90 for the second quarter 2009 from $0.86and $0.88 for the first quarter 2008 primarilyhalf of 2008. The decrease in revenue per transaction was due mainly to the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar.

Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs in the Prepaid Processing Segment include the commissions we pay to retail merchants for the distribution and sale of prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products, as well as expenses required to operate POS terminals. Because of their nature, these expenditures generally fluctuate directly with revenues and processed transactions. The decrease in direct operating costs is generally attributable to the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar, partly offset by the increase in total transactions processed.

21


Gross profit
Gross profit, which represents revenues less direct costs, was $25.5$27.9 million for the second quarter and $53.4 million for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to $26.4$28.0 million for the second quarter and $54.4 million for the first quarterhalf of 2008. Gross margin increased slightly to 19% for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to 18% for the first quarter 2008 and grosssame periods in 2008. Gross profit per transaction decreased towas $0.14 for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to $0.17 for the second quarter and $0.16 for the first quarterhalf of 2008. The primary cause of the reduction in gross profit per transaction is the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar.
Salaries and benefits
The decrease in salaries and benefits for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008 is primarily due to the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar, partly offset by additional overhead to support development in new and growing markets. As a percentage of revenues, salaries and benefits increased slightly to 4.8%4.7% for the first quarterhalf of 2009 from 4.6%4.5% for the first quarterhalf of 2008.
Selling, general and administrative
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008 is due to the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar, partly offset by additional overhead to support development in other new and growing markets. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 3.4% for first quarter 2009 from 3.7%remained flat at 3.6% for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents amortization of acquired intangiblesintangible assets and the depreciation of POS terminals we install in retail stores. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008 mainly due to the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 2.7%2.6% for the first quarterhalf of 2009 from 2.9%2.8% for the first quarterhalf of 2008.
Operating income
The improvement in operating income for 2009 compared to 2008 wasis due to the growth in transactions processed, partly offset by the impact of foreign currency translations to the U.S. dollar.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 8.1%8.3% for the second quarter and 8.2% for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to 7.2%7.5% for the second quarter and 7.3% for the first quarterhalf of 2008. The increase is primarily due to the increase in transactions processed and the associated leveraging of fixed costs. Operating income per transaction remainedwas relatively flat at $0.06 for boththe second quarter and first half of 2009 compared to $0.07 for the second quarter and $0.06 for the first half of 2008. The flatness in 2009 and 2008 reflectingreflects the leveraging of fixed costs offsetting the negative impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar.

Revenues
Revenues from the Money Transfer Segment include a transaction fee for each transaction as well as the difference between purchasing currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to customers at retail exchange rates. RevenueRevenues per transaction decreased to $13.24$12.84 for the second quarter and $13.03 for the first quarterhalf of 2009 from $13.77$13.83 for the second quarter and $13.80 for the first quarterhalf of 2008. The growth rate of revenues lagged the transaction growth rate largely as a result of the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar. Because our revenues are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, amounts we earn in foreign currencies are negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. This decrease was partly offset by a strong increase in transfers from non-U.S. locations which generally have higher-than-average revenuerevenues per transaction. For the first quartersix months ended June 30, 2009, 65%66% of our money transfers were initiated in the U.S., 32%31% in Europe and 3% in other countries, such as Canada and Australia. This compares to 70% initiated in the U.S., 28% initiated in Europe and 2% initiated in other countries for the first quartersix months ended June 30, 2008. We expect that the U.S. will continue to represent our highest volume market; however, future growth is expected to be derived largely from non-U.S. initiated sources.
The increasedecrease in revenues for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to revenues for the first quarterhalf of 2008 is primarily due to the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar, partly offset by an increase in the number of transactions processed, partly offset by the negative impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar.processed. For the first quarterhalf of 2009, money transfers to Mexico, which represented 27% of total money transfers, decreased by 12%15% while transfers to all other countries increased 15%16% when compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008. The increase in transfers to allcountries other countries wasthan Mexico is due to the expansion of our operations and continued growth in immigrant worker populations.operations. The decline in transfers to Mexico was largely the result of downturns in certain labor markets and other economic factors impacting the U.S. market as well as immigration developments in the U.S. These issues have also resulted in certain competitors lowering transaction fees and foreign currency exchange spreads in certain markets where we do business in an attempt to limit the impact on money transfer volumes. We have generally maintained our pricing structure in response to these developments.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs in the Money Transfer Segment primarily represent commissions paid to agents that originate money transfers on our behalf and distribution agents that disburse funds to the customers’ destination beneficiary, together with less significant costs, such as telecommunication and bank and other fees to collect money from originating agents. WhileThe decrease in direct operating costs generally increase or decrease by a similar percentage as transactions, growth in transactions has exceeded the changefirst half of 2009 compared to the same period in direct costs2008 is due to a greater growth rate for Company-owned stores than for agents along with the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar.dollar, partly offset by the growth in transactions processed.

Gross profit
Gross profit, which represents revenues less direct costs, was $27.4$29.7 million for the second quarter and $57.1 million for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to $26.0gross profit of $29.3 million for the second quarter and $55.2 million for the first quarterhalf of 2008. This improvement isThe improvements are primarily due to the growth in money transfer transactions, particularly in Company-owned stores discussed above.partly offset by the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar related to money transfers originated outside the U.S. As discussed above, certain competitors have been lowering transaction fees and foreign currency exchange spreads in the U.S. market as a result of the economic factors and immigration developments impacting the U.S. market. We have generally maintained our pricing structure in response to these developments. We cannot predict how long these issues will continue to affectimpact the U.S. market or whether other markets will experience similar issues and we cannot predict whether we will change our pricing strategy over the short or long term in order to protect or increase market share. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 51% for the second quarter and 52% for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to 50%49% for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2008. TheThis improvement primarily reflects the strong growth in transaction volume in our more profitable non-U.S. locations.
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits include salaries and commissions paid to employees, the cost of providing employee benefits, amounts paid to contract workers and accruals for incentive compensation. While salaries and benefits were basically flat forin the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to salaries and benefits expense for the first quartersame period in 2008, the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar largely offset the increased expenditures we incurred to support expansion of our operations, primarily internationally.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses include operations support costs, such as rent, utilities, professional fees, indirect telecommunications, advertising and other miscellaneous overhead costs. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarterhalf of 2008 is primarily the result of increased expenditures to support expansion of our operations, primarily internationally, partly offset by the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar.
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets impairment
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $169.4 million related to certain goodwill and intangible assets of the RIA money transfer business in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”Assets,” and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This charge was an estimate based on the assessment performed up to the filing date of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We completed the assessment in the first quarter of 2009 and recorded an additional $9.9 million non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter of 2009. Should the current economic crisis worsen or should other factors cause us to significantly lower our cash flow projections for our money transfer business, we will need to reassess the business for further possible impairment. See Note 5, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net, to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of this charge.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization primarily represents amortization of acquired intangiblesintangible assets and also includes depreciation of money transfer terminals, computers and software, leasehold improvements and office equipment. While depreciation and amortization was essentially flat for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008, the impact of the strengtheningstronger U.S. dollar largely offset increased charges related to additional computer equipment in our customer service centers and increased leasehold improvements, office equipment and computer equipment for expansion of our company stores.
Operating income
Excluding the goodwill and acquired intangible assets impairment charge, operating income for the first quarterhalf of 2009 was flatincreased $0.2 million compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008. This increase reflects the growth in transactions processed, mainly those originated in non-U.S. locations, which waspartly offset by the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar andincreased costs to expand internationally as discussed in more detail inand the sections above.negative impact of the stronger U.S. dollar.

Corporate operating expenses
Operating expenses for Corporate Services decreased substantially for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2008. The decrease in salaries and benefits is primarily the result of the first quarter 2009 reversal of share-based compensation related to certain performance-based stock awards and severance costs incurred in the first quarter 2008 related to certain senior level positions incurred in the first quarter 2008.positions. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the first quarter 2008 write-off of $3.0 million in professional fees and settlement costs associated with our potential acquisition of MoneyGram. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company incurred increased professional fees for legal and acquisition-related expenses.

Interest income
The decrease in interest income for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 from the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2008 was primarily due to a decline in short-term interest rates and a decrease in average cash balances on hand betweenduring the respective periods. Additionally, $1.2 million was recognized in the first quarter 2008 for interest related to thea federal excise tax refund recorded in the fourth quarter 2007.

28


Interest expense
The decrease in interest expense for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 from the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2008 was primarily related to the reductions in debt from scheduled and early repayments on our term loan and repurchases of convertible debentures and reductions in amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The decrease in interest expense is also due to lower interest rates on our floating-rate debt obligations in the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the first quartersame periods in 2008.
Income from unconsolidated affiliates
Income from unconsolidated affiliates represents the equity in income of our 40% equity investment in e-pay Malaysia and our 49% investment in Euronet Middle East. The increase in income is mainly the result of improved profitability of both affiliates.

25


UnrealizedImpairment loss on investment securities
During the first quarterhalf of 2008, the value of our investment in MoneyGram declined and the decline was determined to be other than temporary. Accordingly, we recognized aan $18.8 million impairment loss, of which $17.5 million impairment loss.was recognized in the first quarter and another $1.3 million in the second quarter.
Loss on early retirement of debt
In Marchthe first half of 2009, we repurchased in privately negotiated transactions $10.8$25.8 million in principal amount of the 1.625% convertible debentures due 2024. Loss on early retirement of debt of $0.1$0.3 million for the first quarterhalf of 2009 represents the difference in the amounts paid for the convertible debentures over their carrying amounts as well as the pro-rata write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the portion of the term loan that was prepaid during the first quarterhalf of 2009. The $0.2 million loss for the first quarterhalf of 2008 is associated with the term loan amount that was prepaid during the first quarterhalf of 2008. We expect to continue to use available cash flows to prepay amounts outstanding under the term loan and to repurchase the 1.625% convertible debentures if attractive terms are available.
Net foreignForeign currency exchange gain (loss), net
Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local currency of each of our subsidiaries give rise to foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Exchange gains and losses that result from re-measurement of these assets and liabilities are recorded in determining net income. The majority of our foreign currency gains or losses are due to the re-measurement of intercompany loans that are in a currency other than the functional currency of either the entity making or receiving the loan. For example, we make intercompany loans based in euros from our corporate division, which is comprised of U.S. dollar functional currency entities, to certain European entities that use the euro as the functional currency. As the U.S. dollar strengthens against the euro, foreign currency loseslosses are generated on our corporate entities because the number of euros to be received in settlement of the loans decreases in U.S. dollar terms. Conversely, in this example, in periods where the U.S. dollar weakens, our corporate entities will record foreign currency gains.
We recorded a net foreign currency exchange lossgain of $10.6$9.7 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2009 and a net foreign currency gainloss of $13.1$0.9 million in the first half of 2009 compared to a $0.4 million loss and a $12.7 million gain in the second quarter 2008. Duringand first half of 2008, respectively. These realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflect the first quarter 2009,respective weakening and strengthening of the U.S. dollar strengthened against most of the currencies of the countries in which we operate creating realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange losses. This compares toduring the first quarter 2008, when the U.S. dollar weakened against these currencies and we, therefore, recorded realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains.respective periods.

Additionally, foreign currency exchange net gain forrates fluctuated significantly during the first quarter 2008.reported periods creating foreign currency exchange gains and losses that impacted the effective tax rates. Excluding foreign currency exchange results and the impairment chargesimpairments to goodwill and acquired intangible assets and to investment securities from pre-tax income, as well as the related tax effects for these items, ourthe Company’s effective tax rates were 41.6%46.8% and 28.1%20.2% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 44.1% and 23.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The increaseincreases in the effective tax rate,rates, as adjusted, for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 are primarily related to our U.S. tax position. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal tax net operating losses as we have determined that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Accordingly, the federal income tax benefit associated with pre-tax book losses generated by our U.S. entities has not been recognized in these periods. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, no valuation allowance was recorded against our U.S. federal tax net operating losses, resulting in a tax benefit associated with the pre-tax loss generated by our U.S. operations. Additional reasons for the increases in the effective tax rates include the accrual of incremental state income tax expense in the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, was primarily relatedmainly due to exhausting certain state net operating losses, and the recognition of a one-time tax benefit in the first half of 2008 resulting from the successful conclusion of a tax audit in one of our foreign jurisdictions. Finally, the loss of certain income tax deductions in Spain as a result of the goodwill and acquired intangible assets impairment charges. Also, approximately $3.5 millioncharges increased income tax expense in the first half of contract termination fees were recorded in India which has a tax rate that is higher than our weighted average effective tax rate.2009.

Net lossincome attributable to Euronet Worldwide, Inc. was $12.3$15.5 million for the second quarter and $3.2 million for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to $8.6$5.9 million for the second quarter 2008 and a net loss of $2.7 million for the first quarterhalf of 2008. As more fully discussed above, the increased lossincrease of $3.7$6.0 million for the first half of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of the $23.7 million increase in foreign currency losses and the $3.5 million decrease in operating income. These were partly offset by the $17.5$18.8 million first quarterhalf 2008 unrealized loss on investment securities, along with a $4.8partly offset by the $13.6 million decrease in foreign currency exchange gains.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital
As of March 31,June 30, 2009, we had working capital, which is calculated as the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities, of $80.1$89.3 million, compared to working capital of $99.1 million as of December 31, 2008. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.16 at March 31, 2009, compared to 1.17 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital was due primarily to the use of cash to reduce revolving credit facility borrowings.debt.
We require substantial working capital to finance operations. The Money Transfer Segment funds the correspondent distribution network before receiving the benefit of amounts collected from customers by agents. Working capital needs increase due to weekends and international banking holidays. As a result, we may report more or less working capital for the Money Transfer Segment based solely upon the fiscal period ending on a particular day. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, working capital in the Money Transfer Segment was $42.5$65.7 million. We expect that working capital needs will increase as we expand this business. The Prepaid Processing Segment produces positive working capital, but much of it is restricted in connection with the administration of its customer collection and vendor remittance activities. The EFT Processing Segment does not require substantial working capital.
Operating cash flow
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $15.1$50.0 million for the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to $14.6$57.7 million for the first quarterhalf of 2008. The slight increase wasdecrease is primarily due to amounts paid to secure an exclusive, long-term distribution agreement with a vendor in Australia, partly offset by fluctuations in working capital primarily associated with the timing of the settlement process with mobile operators in the Prepaid Processing Segment and improved operating results adjusted for non-cash items, partly offset by amounts paid to secure an exclusive, long-term distribution agreement with a vendor in Australia.Segment.  
Investing activity cash flow
Cash flows used byin investing activities were $10.6$28.4 million for the first quarterhalf of 2009, compared to cash flows provided of $13.5$0.3 million for the first quarterhalf of 2008. Our investing activities include $6.6included $16.8 million and $10.0$21.2 million for purchases of property and equipment in the first quarterhalf of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, the first quarterhalf of 2009 included $3.3$10.0 million in cash used for acquisitions compared to $1.8$3.5 million for the first quarterhalf of 2008. Our investing activities for the first quarterhalf of 2008 consisted ofincluded the return of $26 million we placed in escrow in first quarter 2007 in connection with the agreement to acquire Envios de Valores La Nacional Corp. (“La Nacional”). On January 10, 2008, we entered into a settlement agreement with La Nacional and its stockholder evidencing the parties’ mutual agreement not to consummate the acquisition, in exchange for payment by Euronet of a portion of the legal fees incurred by La Nacional. Finally, cash used for software development and other investing activities totaled $0.6 million and $0.8$1.6 million in the first quarterhalf of 2009 and 2008, respectively.$1.0 million in the first half of 2008.

Financing activity cash flow
Cash flows used byin financing activities were $22.7$44.4 million during the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to $62.6$74.3 million during the first quarterhalf of 2008. Our financing activities for the first quarterhalf of 2009 consisted primarily of net repayments of debt obligations of $21.3$42.3 million

28


compared to $63.1$74.9 million infor the first quarterhalf of 2008. To support the short-term cash needs of our Money Transfer Segment, we generally borrow amounts under the revolving credit facility several times each month to fund the correspondent network in advance of collecting remittance amounts from the agency network. These borrowings are repaid over a very short period of time, generally within a few days. Primarily as a result of this, during the first quarterhalf of 2009 we had a total of $90.4$285.4 million in borrowings and $98.4$297.2 million in repayments under our revolving credit facility. During the first quarterhalf of 2009, we paid $11.4$27.1 million for repayments and early retirements of debt obligations.and $1.8obligations and $3.1 million for capital lease obligations. Additionally, we paid $2.4 million of dividends to noncontrolling interests stockholders in the first quarterhalf of 2009.

Expected future financing and investing cash requirements primarily depend on our acquisition activity and the related financing needs.
Other sources of capital
Credit Facility To finance the acquisition of RIA in the second quarter 2007, we entered into a $290 million secured credit facility consisting of a $190 million seven-year term loan, which was fully drawn at closing, and a $100 million five-year revolving credit facility (together, the “Credit Facility”). The $190 million seven-year term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points or prime plus 100 basis points and requires that we repay 1% of the outstandingoriginal balance each year, with the remaining balance payable after seven years. We estimate that we will be able to repay the term loan prior to its maturity date through cash flows available from operations, provided our operating cash flows are not required for future business developments. Up front financingFinancing costs of $4.8 million have been deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans.
During February 2009, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) provide us the right under the Credit Facility to (a) repurchase the remaining $70 million of 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 then outstanding and (b) repurchase our 3.5% Convertible Debentures Due 2025 prior to any repurchase date using proceeds of a qualifying refinancing, the proceeds of a qualifying equity issuance or shares of common stock; (ii) revise the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and the covenant regarding maintenance of Consolidated Net Worth to exclude the effect of non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets for the periods ending December 31, 2008 and thereafter; and (iii) broaden or otherwise modify various definitions or provisions related to Indebtedness, Liens, Permitted Disposition, Debt Transactions, Investmentsindebtedness, liens, permitted disposition, debt transactions, investments and other matters. Additionally, the lenders acknowledged that we have sufficient liquidity with respect to the December 15, 2009 repurchase date for the 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures. Furthermore, in February 2009, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $70 million of the 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures, from time to time, in open market or privately negotiated purchases. We incurred costs of approximately $1.5 million in connection with the amendment, which will be recognized as additional interest expense over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.
The $100 million five-year revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR or prime plus a margin that adjusts each quarter based upon our Consolidated EBITDA ratio as defined in the Credit Facility agreement.consolidated total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio. We intend to use the revolving credit facility primarily to fund working capital requirements, which are expected to increase as we expand the Money Transfer business. Based on our current projected working capital requirements, we anticipate that our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs.
We may be required to repay our obligations under the Credit Facility six months before any potential repurchase dates, the first being October 15, 2012, under our $175 million 3.5% Convertible Debentures Due 2025, unless we are able to demonstrate that either: (i) we could borrow unsubordinated funded debt equal to the principal amount of the applicable convertible debentures while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility or (ii) we will have sufficient liquidity to meet repayment requirements (as determined by the administrative agent and the lenders). The Credit Facility contains four financial covenants that we must meet as defined in the agreement: (1) total debt to EBITDA ratio, (2) senior secured debt to EBITDA ratio, (3) EBITDA to fixed charge coverage ratio and (4) minimum Consolidated Net Worth. These and other material terms and conditions applicable to the Credit Facility are described in the agreement governing the Credit Facility.
The term loan may be expanded by up to an additional $150 million and the revolving credit facility can be expanded by up to an additional $25 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including pro forma debt covenant compliance.
As of March 31,June 30, 2009, we had borrowings of $131.0$130.0 million outstanding against the term loan. We had borrowings of $8.5$5.0 million and stand-by letters of credit of $30.0$39.5 million outstanding against the revolving credit facility. The remaining $61.5$55.5 million under the revolving credit facility ($86.580.5 million if the facility were increased to $125.0$125 million) was available for borrowing. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are being used to fund short-term working capital requirements in the U.S. and India. OurAs of June 30, 2009, our weighted average interest rate under the revolving credit facility aswas 3.8% and under the term loan was 2.9%, excluding amortization of March 31, 2009 was 4.7%.deferred financing costs.

Short-term debt obligations Short-term debt obligations at March 31,June 30, 2009 were primarily the $57.0$43.2 million 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 as the holders have the option to require us to repurchase their debentures at par on December 15,31, 2009, and the $1.9 million annual repayment requirement under the term loan. Certain of our subsidiaries also have available credit lines and overdraft facilities to supplement short-term working capital requirements, when necessary, and there were no borrowings outstanding against these facilities as of March 31,June 30, 2009.

29


We believe that the short-term debt obligations can be refinanced on terms acceptable to us. However, if acceptable refinancing options are not available, we believe that amounts due under these obligations can be funded through cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Convertible debt We have $175 million in principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Debentures Due 2025 that are convertible into 4.3 million shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of $40.48 per share upon the occurrence of certain events (relating to the closing prices of Euronet Common Stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). The debentures may not be redeemed by us until October 20, 2012 but are redeemable at par at any time thereafter. Holders of the debentures have the option to require us to purchase their debentures at par on October 15, 2012, 2015 and 2020, or upon a change in control of the Company. On the maturity date, these debentures can be settled in cash or Euronet Common Stock, at our option, at predetermined conversion rates.
We also have $59.2$44.2 million in principal amount of 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 that are convertible into 1.81.3 million shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of $33.63 per share upon the occurrence of certain events (relating to the closing prices of Euronet Common Stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). The debentures may not be redeemed by us until December 20, 2009 but are redeemable at any time thereafter at par. Holders of the debentures have the option to require us to purchase their debentures at par on December 15, 2009, 2014 and 2019, and upon a change in control of the Company. Unless the price of our Common Stock appreciates substantially before December 15, 2009, we believe it is likely that the holders of the debentures will exercise this option effective December 15, 2009.at that date. Based upon our current expectations, we believe we will have sufficient cash available to fund the potential $59.2$44.2 million purchase price using our cash currently on hand, cash flows we expect to generate through December 2009 and amounts we expect to be available to borrow under our revolving credit facility. However, if our capital resources are insufficient to meet these obligations, we may be required to seek additional debt or equity financing.
Should holders of the convertible debentures require us to repurchase their debentures on the dates outlined above, we cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient cash on hand or have acceptable financing options available to us to fund these required repurchases. An inability to be able to finance these potential repayments could have an adverse impact on our operations. These terms and other material terms and conditions applicable to the convertible debentures are set forth in the indenture agreements governing these debentures.
Other uses of capital
Payment obligations related to acquisitions- We have potential contingent obligations to the former owner of the net assets of Movilcarga. Based upon presently available information, we do not believe any additional payments will be required. The seller disputed this conclusion and initiated arbitration as provided for in the purchase agreement. A global public accounting firm was engaged as an independent expert to review the results of the computation, but procedures for such review have never been commenced, principally because the seller is in a bankruptcy proceeding. Any additional payments, if ultimately determined to be owed the seller, will be recorded as additional goodwill and could be made in either cash ofor a combination of cash and Euronet Common Stock at our option.
In connection with the acquisition of Brodos Romania, we agreed to contingent consideration arrangements based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. If the criteria are achieved, during 2009 and 2010, we would have to pay a total of $2.5 million in cash or 75,489 shares of Euronet Common Stock, at the option of the seller. However, based on its current performance, Brodos Romania is unlikely to achieve the performance criteria.
Capital expenditures and needs Total capital expenditures for the first quarterhalf of 2009 were $6.7$17.4 million. These capital expenditures were primarily for the purchase of ATMs to meet contractual requirements in Poland, India and China, the purchase and installation of ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS terminals for the Prepaid Processing and Money Transfer Segments, and office, data center and company store computer equipment and software, including capital expenditures for the purchase and development of the necessary processing systems and capabilities to enterexpand the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business. Total capital expenditures for 2009 are currently estimated to be approximately $35$40 million to $45$50 million.
In the Prepaid Processing Segment, approximately 100,000115,000 of the approximately 421,000470,000 POS devices that we operate are Company-owned, with the remaining terminals being operated as integrated cash register devices of our major retail customers or owned by the retailers. As our Prepaid Processing Segment expands, we will continue to add terminals in certain independent retail locations at a price of approximately $300 per terminal. We expect the proportion of owned terminals to total terminals operated to remain relatively constant.

33


At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under our revolving credit facility and other existing and potential future financing will be sufficient to meet our debt, leasing, contingent acquisition and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are not sufficientinsufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt under terms acceptable to us. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain favorable terms for the refinancing of any of our debt or other obligations. In the event we were to require additional debt financing in the future, the severe liquidity disruptions in the credit markets could materially impact our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms. The inability to access debt financing on reasonable terms could materially impact our ability to make acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness or effectively operate or materially expand our business in the future.

30


Other trends and uncertainties
Cross border merchant processing and acquiring In our EFT Processing Segment, we have entered the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business, through the execution of an agreement with a large petrol retailer in Central Europe. Since the beginning of 2007, we have devoted significant resources, including capital expenditures of approximately $7.8$8.5 million, to the ongoing investment in development of the necessary processing systems and capabilities to enter this business, which involves the purchase and design of hardware and software. Merchant acquiring involves processing credit and debit card transactions that are made on POS terminals, including authorization, settlement, and processing of settlement files. It will involve the assumption of credit risk, as the principal amount of transactions will be settled to merchants before settlements are received from card associations. We incurred $1.0$1.5 million in operating losses related to this business in the first quarterhalf of 2009 and currently expect to incur approximately $3.0$2 million to $4.0$3 million in operating losses for the full year 2009.
Inflation and functional currencies
Generally, the countries in which we operate have experienced low and stable inflation in recent years. Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency. Currently, we do not believe that inflation will have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in each of the countries where we operate.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We regularly grant guarantees of the obligations of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and we sometimes enter into agreements with unaffiliated third parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, there were no material changes from the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. To date, we are not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or parties to whom we have provided guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries and, accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded as of March 31,June 30, 2009. See also Note 10, Guarantees, to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of March 31,June 30, 2009, the only material change from the disclosure relating to contractual obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, is the net reduction of $19.4$38.8 million of principal on long-term debt through repayment of debt and repurchases of debentures.debt.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In AprilMay 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “AccountingSFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” This standard incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that already existed within generally accepted auditing standards, but the rules concerning recognition and disclosure of subsequent events will remain essentially unchanged.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
As of March 31,June 30, 2009, our total debt outstanding was $354.1$337.1 million. Of this amount, $206.1$193.8 million, or 58% of our total debt obligations, relates to contingent convertible debentures having fixed coupon rates. Our $175 million principal amount of contingent convertible debentures, issued in October 2005, accrue cash interest at a rate of 3.50% of the principal amount per annum. The $59.2$44.2 million principal amount of contingent convertible debentures, issued in December 2004, accrue cash interest at a rate of 1.625% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of March 31,June 30, 2009, the fair value of our fixed rate convertible debentures was $183.9$196.2 million, compared to a carrying value of $206.1$193.8 million.
Through the useInterest expense, including amortization of interest rate swap agreements, $50.0 million of our variable rate termdeferred debt has been effectively converted to a fixed rate of 7.3% through May 29, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the unrealized loss on the interest rate swap agreements was $0.4 million. Interest expenseissuance costs, for our total $256.1$193.8 million in fixed rate debt totals approximately $21.3$16.7 million per year, or a weighted average interest rate of 8.3%8.6% annually. Additionally, approximately $8.5$8.2 million, or 2% of our total debt obligations, relate to capitalized leases with fixed payment and interest terms that expire between 2009 and 2014.
After the interest rate swap agreement expires in the second quarter, theThe remaining $139.5$135.1 million, or 39%40% of our total debt obligations, relates to debt that will accrueaccrues interest at variable rates. If we were to maintain these borrowings for one year, and maximize the potential borrowings available under the revolving credit facility for one year, including the $25.0 million in potential additional expanded borrowings, a 1% increase in the applicable interest rate would result in additional annual interest expense to the Company of approximately $2.3$2.2 million. This computation excludes the potential $150.0 million in potential expanded term loan because of the limited circumstances under which the additional amounts would be available to us for borrowing.
Our excess cash is invested in instruments with original maturities of three months or less; therefore, as investments mature and are reinvested, the amount we earn will increase or decrease with changes in the underlying short term interest rates.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
For the first quarterhalf of 2009, 73%74% of our revenues were generated in non-U.S. dollar countries compared to 75% for the first quarterhalf of 2008. We expect to continue generating a significant portion of our revenues in countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
We are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the currencies of countries in which we have significant operations, primarily to the euro, British pound, Australian dollar and Polish zloty. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, we estimate that a 10% fluctuation in these foreign currency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net income and working

35


capital of approximately $25$20 million to $35$30 million. This effect is estimated by applying a 10% adjustment factor to our non-U.S. dollar results from operations, intercompany loans that generate foreign currency gains or losses and working capital balances that require translation from the respective functional currency to the U.S. dollar reporting currency. Additionally, we have other non-current, non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are translated to the U.S. dollar during consolidation. These items primarily represent goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions in countries other than the U.S. We estimate that a 10% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a non-cash impact on total comprehensive income of approximately $45

32


$50 million to $55$60 million as a result of the change in value of these items during translation to the U.S. dollar. For the fluctuations described above, a strengthening U.S. dollar produces a financial loss, while a weakening U.S. dollar produces a financial gain. We believe this quantitative measure has inherent limitations and does not take into account any governmental actions or changes in either customer purchasing patterns or our financing or operating strategies. Because a majority of our revenues and expenses are incurred in the functional currencies of our international operating entities, the profits we earn in foreign currencies are positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, our debt obligations are primarily in U.S. dollars, therefore, as foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate, the amount available for repayment of debt will also increase or decrease.
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in our Money Transfer Segment. A majority of the money transfer business involves receiving and disbursing different currencies, in which we earn a foreign currency spread based on the difference between buying currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. This spread provides some protection against currency fluctuations that occur while we are holding the foreign currency. Our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is limited by the fact that disbursement occurs for the majority of transactions shortly after they are initiated. Additionally, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to help offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, we had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $41.1$41.2 million, primarily in euros, that were not designated as hedges and mature in a weighted average of 2.84.9 days. The fair value of these forward contracts as of March 31,June 30, 2009 was an unrealized gainloss of approximately $0.2less than $0.1 million, which was partially offset by the unrealized gain on the related foreign currency receivables.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our executive management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of March 31,June 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
CHANGE IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the firstsecond quarter of 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business.
Currently, there are no legal proceedings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as updated in our subsequent filings with the SEC before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report onForm 10-K,, as updated by any subsequent Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q,, are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.If any of the risks identified in our Annual Report onForm 10-K,, as updated by any subsequent Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q,, actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline substantially.This Quarterly Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Other than as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our prepaid mobile airtime top-up and money transfer businesses may be susceptible to fraud and/or credit risks occurring at the retailer and/or consumer level.
In our Prepaid Processing Segment, we contract with retailers who accept payment on our behalf, which we then transfer to a trust or other operating account for payment to mobile phone operators. In the event a retailer does not transfer to us payments that it receives for mobile airtime, whether as a result of fraud, insolvency or otherwise, we are responsible to the mobile phone operator for the cost of the airtime credited to the customer’s mobile phone. We can provide no assurance that retailer fraud or insolvency will not increase in the future or that any proceeds we receive under our credit enhancement insurance policies will be adequate to cover losses resulting from retailer fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
With respect to our money transfer business, our business is primarily conducted through our agent network, which provides money transfer services directly to consumers at retail locations. Our agents collect funds directly from consumers and in turn we collect from the agents the proceeds due to us resulting from the money transfer transactions. Therefore, we have credit exposure to our agents. Additionally, our Company-owned stores transact a significant amount of business in cash. Although we have safeguards in place, cash transactions have a higher exposure to fraud and theft than other types of transactions. The failure of agents owing us significant amounts to remit funds to us or to repay such amounts, or the loss of cash in our stores could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increases in taxes could negatively impact our operating results.
As a result of the current economic downturn, tax receipts have decreased and/or government spending has increased in many of the countries in which we operate. Consequently, governments may increase tax rates or implement new taxes in order to compensate for gaps between tax revenues and expenditures. Additionally, governments may prohibit or restrict the use of certain legal structures designed to minimize taxes. Any such tax increases, whether borne by us or our customers, could negatively impact our operating results or the demand for our products.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
In the second quarter 2009, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) served Continental Exchange Solutions, Inc. d/b/a RIA Financial Services (“CES”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with a grand jury subpoena requesting documents from CES and its affiliates in connection with an investigation into money transmission services to the Dominican Republic during the period from January 1, 2004 to the date of the subpoena. The Company and CES are fully cooperating with the DOJ in its investigation.
At this time, we are unable to predict whether this investigation will result in the DOJ bringing charges against CES. Accordingly, we are unable to predict the outcome of this investigation, the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of any charges that may be brought against CES, or any potential effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
We acquired all of the stock of RIA Envia, Inc., the parent of CES, in April 2007.
